“He's a smoking gun for sure, he’s certainly not a water pistol,” Hull FC coach Lee Radford said of new signing Bureta Faraimo after his debut and he couldn’t have been more on the money.

Hull won’t lose much if anything from a metres made point of view, while Faraimo also came up with two Fonua-like offloads as well. It was almost as if Faraimo had sat down and watched Fonua’s highlights from his two seasons with FC and recreated them on the field.

It may only be the pre-season but Hull fans don’t need to worry about the right-wing position. Faraimo has got it nailed down and is ready for Super League.
